    well, I don't think the audio companies are all just going to shrivel up and leave, they will incorporate whatever technology into their machines refining it, designing it, magnifying it. You see a computer has to be reliable, it has to well, compute, this limits its overall potential compared to a stand-alone machines ability to focus on the single task.

    The further you dig into the rabbit hole the better the sound but the dirty little secret is these machines become "quirky", dont vibrate it in the least whatever you do, its going to freak, when she plays though its musical magic.

    Well I gotta go.

    What happened to that Mouse, I mean he did not actually......yikes:eek:

    I bypassed my passive pre completely, and use media center to attenuate the digital output. I run straight from my DAC to the active XO. I am thinking of going completely passive on the XO.

    Edit: The sound is very clean and still has all its detail, and dynamics.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    Nuclear incidents tend to cause vinyl warpage. You may want to set up that
    record vault to protect them now!:D
